One of the oldest and smallest of the houses

Mass, is best known a. the birthplace of Gen.
Joseph Hooker, the Fighting Joe" of Look
out Mountain and various other contests.
Hooker achieved fair fame without attain
ing a great age, for lie would have been only
- years old if he had lived till today His
father was drover in Hadley, and Joe" ran
about barelooted like the other boys. Always
OF lofty bearing. he was not ashamed to
hire out to the neighboring farmers by the
day or by the month, and this willingness to
work is said by one of his playmates to have
been the secret of his success i'll after life.
Among his companions he is said to have
been faithful and trusty, never INDUCING in
fights, but rather the smoother down of ruff
fed feathers" His tact and policy made HIM
popular, aud his comrades readily conceded
that he was the best jumper, the best runner
and the best ball player. intellectually as
well Us physically he was the peer of all the
Hadley1 youth, and none of them felt that
Joe" Hooker did not deserve the appoint
ment to West Point that he had ardently
wished for many yeaIs-New York Times.

royal collection which belonged to Queen
Elizabeth, having been taken from the Spar.

Some OF the New Fans.

Feather fans are in high favor, especially
those composed of ostrich feathers, marabout
and curled swans feathers. Very attractive
fans are oval shaped ones. covered with a
mixture Of ostrich tips and marabout, with
butterflies here and there. Transparent fans
represent popular STYLE and are made some
times of gauze and sometimes of lace. Com
ing to cheaper sorts, there is large variety
of japanese and Chinese fans.
Following are fans described by Tho Do
nestle Monthly: Pekin fans Of notified gilt
paper are mounted upon slender red reeds, or
plain paper designs are laced with fine silk
cords up each long mount, with sticks of shin
ing lacquer. black gauze fan has a large
spiders web III silver; another one has u
flight Of sprites in pale shades Of silver and
gray, the foremost one carrying a torch,
from W hich stream red and golden RAYS
Shell handles Oh the large feather designs
are especially attractive and expensive, with
the monograms set in gold.
Designs painted to order show the name in
flowers across the spread, as tiny roses,
violets or daisies, with the duplicate in dilnin-
ished form on one of the outside sticks
Crepe Is a beautiful background for water
colorS, but is SO frail as TO require the best OF

The assortment in decorative chairs afforded
by furniture makers is an extended one. Our
cut presents three differing styles in uphol-
stored chairs designed for drawing rooms and
parlors.
The improved styles in which basket and
reed chairs are made render these favorites
not only in sitting rooms, but in the parlor as
well. When designed for the latter room
they are well set Off by tapestry seat and
pillow work in some pleasing color.
Almost every one furnishing a modern
house wants q few pieces of real bamboo
furniture. This, by its lightness in weight
and its pleasing natural finish, forms con-
trast to the heavier furniture Of q room that
delights the artistic eye.

HOW TO COUNT BANANAS.
The Simple Yet Almost Unknown way
OF Determining the Number.

OF Determining the Number.
stop minute and count the bananas In
this bunch for me, please" said genial
dealer In fruit the other day to an Indian.
apolis News writer The reporter stopped,
wondering at such request, and proceeded
TO count. He first counted all those hanging
on the outside in plain sight and then lifting
them up or pushing them aside counted the
hidden ones below "There are exactly 1903"
he said.
The dealer smiled a plying smile and re.
marked modestly that he had supposed even a
newspaper man could count. Then the re-
porter proposed TO count them again to prove
his accuracy
This time he observed they were arranged
in circles or tiers about the stalk, and he
numbered them carefully, tier 10y ,cr. Alasl
for his boosted accuracy. He found there
were lI7 bananas in the bunch Fully

reporter meekly signifed that he was not.
well, then, I'll tell you that not one man in
a hundred can count bananas correctly MS
they hang in the bunch, So"
"How, then, do you find how many are in
bunch."
I'VE use strategy. We take paper of pins
and count just how many pins there are in it.
They are arranged in rows, and we can count
them and we know we are right Then we
go through the bunch of bananas and stick a
pin in each one, going over diem several
times to make sure that each one Las its pin.
Then, by counting how many pins are left
and performing little problem in subtrac-
ton, we learn what we are working after.
There are exactly l55 bananas in that bunch.

How to Bake Bread.

Miss Corson bakes bread in the following
manner: After the bread or biscuit dough is
put into the buttered pans cover them with a
folded towel, and place the pans where the
same gentle heat will strike them, turning
them about to secure an even rising. Do not
put the pans where it is impossible to bear
the hand with ease. When the dough has
risen to twice its original volume brush the
bread and biscuit with melted butter or with
a little milk in which sugar is dissolved, and
then put them into a moderate oven to bake;
the butter will make crisp brown crust. The
temperature of the oven is about right when
the hand can be held i'll it without burning

Canning Fruit.

For canning small fruits good rule is to
allow onethird Of a pound of sugar to a
pound of fruit. Put water to the sugar in
the proportion of about teacupful of water
to each pound of sugar, make into IA sirup and
skim carefully. Add the fruit, let it boil ten
minutes, and it will be ready for canning
For pears, peaches, cages, etc, allow about
the same quantity of sugar as for raspberries {;
pie plant will need full half pound of sugar
to a pound Of stalk. Peaches should be pared
and can be canned whole or in halves; pears
should be canned whole, and if dropped i'm
mediately into cold water when pared will
not turn black; cages and plums should have
the skin pricied with u needle to prevent it
bursting.

Currant Jelly Quickly Made.

Carefully look over the currants intended
for jelly, without stemming or washing them.
Allow half pound of graduated or pure
loaf sugar to each pound of fruit. Put few
OF the currants into porcelain lined kettle
and mash them to secure juice enough to pre-
vent burning. Then add the remainder Of
the currants and boil twenty minutes, stirring
often. Now strain them through a strong
jelly bag, putting the juice into earthen or
wooden ware. After straining turn the juice
back into the kettle, let it boil up for min
ute or tive then add the sugar. AS soon as
the sugar is perfectly dissolved the jelly is
done and should be turned at once into glasses,
whore it will quickly jelly. This is a popular
method of making jelly because it is both
